i'm looking for some turbos for my GTR but cant seem to find anyone who offers what i'm after

i'd prefer to get the HKS GT2530's but everyone who has them seems to buy them from yahoo japan, then ship them.

ebay wants $3900 +actuators

nengun wants $3225 +actuators+shipping

rhdjapan wants $3200 +actuators

slidewize imports wants $2420 (used 8000kms???) +actuators

the next choice would be to get the Garrett GT2860-5's which usually retail around $1400 each

while the cheapest supplier seems to super cheap auto at around $2300/pair (after staff discount) +actuators

however these are not exactly bolt on, they require minor modifcation to the oil system

also super cheap auto order through 'rocket industries' who i've emailed, and i cant tell if they get the get the turbine housing that fits nissans or not

Also how come noone includes actuators anymore???? they are around $250 extra

the main reason i'm asking this is

1. i have heard bad things about nengun

2. i want to make sure that if i pay over $3K to a company, they will be in business long enough to deliver the goods

3. i'd much prefer new turbos

maybe i'm just being paranoid but its alot of money. But where does everyone buy their 2530's

cheers Trent

All companies have good and bad stories.

I bought about 8k worth of parts from Nengun and the stuff turned up without a hassle. I even slipped passed the 10% GST and 10% stamp duty which you pay on anything over 1k. Correct me if I'm wrong on that one.

I got a set of HKS GT-SS turbos from a company called CJ motor off ebay recently. They were really good. It came posted from QLD to Sydney 2 days after the payment went through, and was new. Everything was in the kit, turbos, actuators, gasket kit, nuts and studs, and wastegate vacuum line. The price was heaps better then anywhere else I could find. Only problem is the instructions were from HKS and all japanese. I'm a mechanic though and Ive already replaced the turbos once before.

CJ motors is definitely the way to go

My GT-SS came via nengun, thats $3300 worth of gear

Plus all the other stuff. The only issue with nengun is delivery times can be off by 2-3 weeks at times. Sometimes a bit more.

But other than that they dont run away with your money.

Any turbos that need "modification" to anything i wouldnt be using. They wouldnt be RB26 replcaement if they need mods so who knows what else you'll need to do.

Just get them from nengun/greenline etc

or get -5's locally... they are the same thing anyhow

cheers fellas,

cj motors is the ebay price i listed above ($3900) i think thats a bit hexy, and they don't have actuators anymore

r31nismoid, i agree, they're not bolt on if they need to be drilled out!!

Or you can email the HKS Australian Distributor on [email protected]

They have them in stock and ready to go for $3879inc. Actuators are extra.

The GT-SS come with actuators as do the GT-RS but the GT2530's accept factory actuators or HKS have the actuator upgrade to suit. I think Performance Wholesale has them in stock as well for $290inc

Pretty sure that everything Garrett will be supplied ultimately through MTQ (in NSW, they are in Wetherill Park don't know about other states).

If you are a super cheap staff member you should be able to call MTQ up directly; both times I've had to call they've been knowledgeable and helpful.

That should let you know what the 2860s will actually come with and what will be required to connect them to your car. e.g. the T04Z I bought

came with the manifold gasket and the v-band clamp and flange (something that some other suppliers wanted a couple of hundred extra $$$ for).

It's also probably worth poking around this forum a little for any anecdotes from people that have actually done that install.

As others have said, it might be worth paying the extra $$$ to get a 'true bolt up' kit... fabrication and/or extra labour

could eat up the savings you made on the turbos themselves if you're not careful.

Saliya

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
